Has anyone experienced the similar problem? I'm using Windows 7 and eclipse galileo. I've installed the plugin from this URL, what can I do to work this problem out?

I have no problem with that plugin (except the MVFS layer does not work for now, since dynamic views are not yet supported on windows7), provided you do have the exact tree

yourEclipse
  eclipse
    plugins
      com.rational.clearcase.help_7.5.0.v200910221234
      com.rational.clearcase.activities_7.5.0.v200910221234
      com.rational.clearcase_7.5.0.v200910221234
    features
      com.rational.clearcase_7.5.0.v200910221234
      com.ibm.rational.clearcase.ccrefresh_7.5.0.v200910221234
      com.ibm.rational.clearcase.ccimport.feature_7.1.0.v200905202348--08422A2_242663

So you can start and check if you do see this configuration.
Note: I only install it on Eclipse Galileo 3.5 and Eclipse Helios 3.6Mx.

  • @VonC , how do I get to that info which you provided? I think I'm also using 3.5.0 – ant Mar 17 '10 at 14:58
  • @VonC, here is the image exactly like yours(similar) .. http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/3070/crj.png .. When I click on the ClearCase menu you marked then "Connect to the rational clearcase" I get that error – ant Mar 17 '10 at 15:02
  • @cOmrade, are you on W7 32 or 64bits, bit a JVM 5 or 6 for Eclipse? With CC7, 7.1.0.X, or 7.1.1? (see for instance http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21273089) – VonC Mar 17 '10 at 18:11
  • @VonC It's 64bits, JVM6(tried switching to VJM5 same error) I use CC 7.5.0.v200910221234 – ant Mar 18 '10 at 09:00
  • @cOmrade: you do not use CC7.5: that is the version of the plugin, not of ClearCase itself. You might use ClearCase 2003.06 or 7.0.x or 7.1.0.x or 7.1.1 (which is quite different from 7.1.0.x). Only ClearCase 7.1.1 stands a chance of being semi-supported on a W7 64 bits. – VonC Mar 18 '10 at 09:28
  • @VonC how do I find out, which CC I use? – ant Mar 18 '10 at 12:18
  • @c0mrade: did you solve the issue? Was it simply because the main ClearCase client wasn't installed in the first place? – VonC Mar 19 '10 at 16:11
  • @c0mrade: sorry to hear that. I will make some tests on my own and see if there is any compatibility issue. – VonC Mar 19 '10 at 19:27
  • @VonC thanks anyways for your effort, its just problem in win7, in XP everything works fine.. – ant Mar 19 '10 at 19:57

Currently, version 1.6 of the JVM is not supported. To use this integration successfully, you must downgrade to JVM 1.5.

As far as I know, the latest version of ClearCase available is 7.1, which is not qualified on Windows 7, maybe the issue is there.

Did you try with in the integration/plugin for other IDE ? (VisualStudio ?)

Can you access your views (snapshot or dynamic) outside of eclipse ?
